The Wonder of It All

You’ve awakened me gently
with your sweet smelling call,
how it raises my passion
for the wonder of it all.

Your golden mane is flowing
with a softness so fine,
every time there comes a change
you’ve given me the sign.

When I stop and sit by your side
and watch the noon rays fall,
I am totally immersed
by the wonder of it all.

When your emotions come heavy
with abandon and cause,
there is quite an amazement
by the wonder of it all.

I sense myself belonging
in the confines of your space,
the way you look, feel and smell
puts a smile upon my face.

To lie beneath your tilted smile
and see an ember fall,
I cannot stop my aching for
the wonder of it all.

There’s times I feel I’m all alone
until I look around,
your presence is always near
by feel, sight or sound.

You speak to me, but not with words
to reach my inner soul,
the strength that you have given me
has made my life seem whole.

My years they keep on gaining
with a quickening ascent,
and with your help of knowledge
I’ll know what it has meant.

I think of you so deeply
that waters start to fall,
I cannot hold my wet eyes back
from the wonder of it all.

On restless nights I toss and turn
my mind is trapped not free,
it’s then I see your caring arms
are here to comfort me.

Oh, how I wish to speak of you
but words from me are small,
the joy of life you’ve given me
is the wonder of it all.
